The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 237
The next day, Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren left the city together, the carriage was driven by Li Hua, Zhao Yunlan didn't actually set a destination, she just wanted to let Li Hua drive the carriage around the surrounding area, and take a look, Zhuangzi Things are not in a hurry to be settled on this day.

"I always feel that the city gate is a dividing line, and I don't feel how hot it is when I go out of the city gate." Li Mingren looked at the sun in the sky and said involuntarily.

Zhao Yunlan also lifted the curtain and said, "Maybe it's because there are fewer people and more trees outside the city."

Li Mingren nodded in agreement, and Zhao Yunlan continued: "Are you not so depressed when you come out for a walk?"

Li Mingren curled his lips and said nothing.

Zhao Yunlan smiled, and said to Li Hua who was driving the carriage: "There is a Zhuangzi over there, let's go and see the situation of that Zhuangzi!"

Li Hua: "Yes, madam."

The carriage turned a corner, and arrived outside Zhuangzi a quarter of an hour later.

"Come down and walk!" Zhao Yunlan suggested, but she also acted.Li Mingren got out of the carriage, and the two walked around the Zhuangzi together. The Zhuangzi was so big that Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren could not walk to the end.

"This Zhuangzi is really big!" Li Mingren looked forward and couldn't help sighing.

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, I don't know which family it belongs to." Then, she turned her head to look at Li Hua, trying to learn the origin of this village from Li Hua.

Li Hua was dumbfounded, and replied: "I don't know much about Zhuangzi, and I didn't have many opportunities to go out of the city before."

Zhao Yunlan could only nod her head to express her understanding.

"Then let's turn around and look elsewhere."

"Yes, ma'am."

The three of them came to another Zhuangzi, this Zhuangzi was much smaller, it happened that the door of this Zhuangzi was open, and they were carrying baskets of vegetables outside, and the steward in charge was urging the servants to be quicker.

It sounds like some Zhuangzi of the Hou Mansion, the steward muttered, "Master Hou wants to eat some fresh dishes."

Zhao Yunlan didn't want to cause trouble, so she said: "Let's not go there, let's go back!"

"Ok!"

The three returned to the place where the carriage stopped, and Li Hua continued to drive the carriage forward.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Hua stopped the carriage: "Madam, if you go any further, you should be out of the boundary of the capital."

Zhao Yunlan: "So fast?"

Li Hua said: "It's not too soon, we have been out of the city for two hours."

Zhao Yunlan: "Hey, let's go back then! Come back tomorrow."

Li Mingren was a little unwilling to hear it: "Come again tomorrow, lady, although it is not as hot outside the city as in the city, but after this day, the sweat is still soaking through the vest."

Zhao Yunlan also felt tired and panicked, only to hear Li Mingren continue to say: "If you want to buy Zhuangzi, you still have to go to the Yaman. We went out for a stroll, but we can also find Zhuangzi."

Zhao Yunlan: "Okay, then I'll ask the dentist tomorrow, but you have to go with me."

Li Mingren didn't dare to refuse any more, so he responded: "Then let's go back first, I don't know if He Hua cooked mung bean soup today."

Li Hua drove the carriage to the city. After going out for a day, he ate some snacks at noon. Everyone was hungry now, so Li Hua drove the carriage to speed up.

As soon as the carriage arrived home, Li Mingren yelled: "He Hua, set the meal, Ye Sheng, quickly bring me a basin of water, I want to wash my face and eat."

"Yes, master." Ye Sheng quickly brought a basin of water, followed by Chunxiang for Zhao Yunlan to wash.

He Hua set out the meal swiftly, and Li Mingren was thinking of mung bean soup.

"Your appetite has improved a lot tonight!" Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingren eating happily.

Li Mingren paused with his chopsticks for a while, and said, "Hey, I have a better appetite today, maybe I was hungry at noon."

Zhao Yunlan: "A few days ago you didn't eat much for lunch!"

……

Before the curfew, He Wen came back from the outside, and Zhao Yunlan asked He Wen about the situation.

He Wen: "Go back to Ma'am, my little one went to see today that there are three women who can cook, and seven or eight nurses who can do boxing skills. These are all sold because the former owner reduced the expenses. of."

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, I'll go and have a look tomorrow. You have to go to Yaren tomorrow. Our family is going to buy a Zhuangzi. It doesn't need to be too big, as long as it can maintain the business of our restaurant in the future."

He Wen understood, seeing that Zhao Yunlan didn't give orders, he retreated consciously.

On the second day, Zhao Yunlan took Li Mingren out again, this time He Wen was driving the car, and Li Hua sat on the side of the car.

"It's really hot today." I went out late today, the sun has risen now, and my face hurts from the sun.

The carriage was a bit stuffy, and Zhao Yunlan had to lift the curtain to let the air in the carriage.Just like that, Li Mingren was still sitting beside him fanning Zhao Yunlan.

He Wen drove the carriage to Yaren's side, and the husband and wife got out of the car. Zhao Yunlan didn't want to stay any longer, so she hurriedly asked He Wen to arrange to meet those people. Come out and stand together.

Zhao Yunlan asked some simple questions, and there was nothing wrong with the people below. Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingren, and Li Mingren just nodded, meaning that it was all up to the lady to decide.

In a quarter of an hour, He Wen followed ten servants, Zhao Yunlan ordered Li Hua to settle these people back, and she had to go to see Zhuangzi again.

He Wen has already found the Yaman and said that the Yaman who is in charge of Zhuangzi in the house is called Shao Chun. He looks shrewd and his mustache is particularly eye-catching.

"Madam, there is a Zhuangzi outside the north of the city. I think it will meet Madam's expectations." Shao Chun spoke straightforwardly, doing things very eagerly, as if someone was chasing him behind.

"Okay, let's go and have a look!" Zhao Yunlan glanced at Li Mingren.

Shao Chun got into the Li family's carriage together, and just chatted with He Wen about the Zhuangzi's situation outside.But Zhao Yunlan in the carriage could hear it clearly, and this was actually what Shao Chun chatted to Zhao Yunlan.

That Zhuangzi is in the north of the city, a little further away, not beyond the boundaries of the capital.The original owner of this Zhuangzi was a Beijing official, but this Zhuangzi has changed hands several times and it is hard to inquire about it. Now the owner of Zhuangzi is a wealthy businessman. When he first took over Zhuangzi, he even repaired Zhuangzi, but the furniture inside Everything has been emptied, and even the flowers and trees planted have been pulled out.

Zhao Yunlan didn't care much about the expensive flowers and trees. Those flowers and trees were moved away to plant some fruit trees. Presumably the gardeners in charge of the flowers and trees had fertilized the soil.

That Zhuangzi had about [-] mu of land, which was originally cultivated by the surrounding villagers, but the wealthy businessman wanted to sell the land together with the Zhuangzi, so those villagers did not tenant any more after harvesting this time.

From this point of view, this Zhuangzi is indeed satisfied. There are no tenant disputes, and the house has been moved cleanly. It will probably only need to add things to it in the future.

Just thinking about it, the carriage stopped.

"Madam, we are here!" He Wen reminded from outside the car.

Li Mingren got out of the car and helped Zhao Yunlan down. At a glance, the Zhuangzi was not bad.

Shao Chun knocked on the door, and there was an old concierge staying behind in this village.

"Brother Shao, is this someone visiting Zhuangzi?" asked the old concierge.

Shao Chun: "Yes, Old Man An, this is the home of Master Jinshi, let's go in and have a look first."

The old man An quickly bowed and said: "Hey, hey, the little one makes way for Mrs. Madam, please come inside."

It was only after the two of them went in that they could see clearly the situation of the Zhuangzi. This is really what the Yaman said, three points are true, three points are false, and the remaining four points are all up to the buyer to realize it.

I don't know what this rich businessman thinks, some houses have even removed the tiles, the roof is empty, there is a big wooden basin in the middle of the door to catch the rainwater, and some unimportant houses don't even have wooden basins.

Shao Chun didn't expect this to happen. He remembered that he was still fine when he came to see Zhuangzi half a month ago, so he quickly looked at old man An.

The old man An was also a little embarrassed, and he said stammeringly: "The master came once before and said that there were a few tiles made of jade, so he asked someone to move them away, but they were replaced with ordinary tiles. I don’t know how the news about this Yuwa leaked out. Half a month ago, this village was attacked by thieves. They searched all over, but they couldn’t find anything valuable, and even injured me. I went to report it the next day Officer, the officer came several times but failed to find anyone, so that group of people never came again."

Shao Chun frowned and asked, "Does your master know about this?"

Old man An: "When I went to find the master, they had already left, leaving only one caretaker to respond."

Shao Chun looked at Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan, and saw that they had no expression on their faces, nor did they speak.

Zhao Yunlan broke the embarrassment first: "Let's take a look around this house again!"

Li Mingren nodded.

The old man An followed carefully, and Shao Chun was beating his heart, not knowing what the two of them were thinking.
